You cannot prepare the font for this by yourself (unless you are a font designer).  The font needs
to have the "frac" feature present.  Your macro \textfraction{1/2} simply typesets 1/2 with the frac
feature enabled.  You can find out if your font has this feature using the tool otfinfo, e.g.

$ otfinfo -f FiraSans-Regular.otf
aalt	Access All Alternates
c2sc	Small Capitals From Capitals
calt	Contextual Alternates
case	Case-Sensitive Forms

dlig	Discretionary Ligatures
dnom	Denominators
frac	Fractions
kern	Kerning
liga	Standard Ligatures
lnum	Lining Figures
mark	Mark Positioning

mkmk	Mark to Mark Positioning
numr	Numerators
